well what a lovley day out at crail it was, few pics
forth road bridge is always nice to look at
loaded up and ready to set off on the 180 mile trip at 5:45am!
we arrived, then 10 mins afterwards the other half of team cumbria arrived
nice sport
me lol
jim happy as ever but i think that was because he just had his burger and hot dog
just awesome
although nic had a throttle cable issue spirits were still high lol
and loading up to set off home
overall a good weekend and a best time of the day was a 14.5, next time i think we will have some 888s, see what happens then

was a good weekend over all. I think the nova did quite well. Towing is the future. Seems good your dolly. R888 and some aggression off the start line should treat you well.
